If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...

NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. Mount Nyiragongo is a volcano in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 18 ...

Pitch, often mistaken for black stone due to its appearance, is, in fact, a liquid with a very high viscosity when exposed to high temperatures. But how can one demonstrate that this "stone" is ...
